Although the immediate effects of temperature stress are well documented, the longer‐term
effects of such stresses are more poorly known. In these experiments, we investigate the …

Brief exposure to low (0oC) or high (40oC) temperature elicits a protective response that
prevents injury when the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart, is subjected to more …

Supercooling points (SCP) and low temperature tolerance were determined for larval, pupal
and adult stages of Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). No stage …

Anoxia induced by nitrogen or carbon dioxide, or hypoxic/hypobaric conditions generated by
a partial vacuum sensitizes red‐eye pharate adults of Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart to …

Diapausing pupae of Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart and S. bullata Parker reared at 20
or 25d̀C readily survive exposure to‐10d̀C for at least 25 days. In contrast, non‐diapausing …

A brief exposure to a supraoptimal temperature (35–45° C) induced thermotolerance in
pharate adults of the flesh fly Sarcophaga crassipalpis. While a 90 min exposure to 45° C …

The developmental rate of the flesh fly Sarcophaga crassipalpis Macquart reared under
nondiapause conditions (L: D 15: 9) shows a linear response to temperature between 15 …

Two flesh fly species from the tropical lowlands (Peckia abnormis and Sarcodexia
sternodontis) were more susceptible to both cold-shock and heatshock injury than temperate …

Thermal tolerance varies at all hierarchical levels of biological organization: among species,
populations, individuals, and even within individuals. Age-or developmental stage-and sex …

Abstract Heat shock (45° C), cold shock (− 10° C), and indirect chilling injury (a prolonged
exposure to 2° C) did not interfere with the continuation of pharate adult development in the …
